Why is the PS3 version so inferior?

Yeah I know it's got a crappy framerate compared to the X-Box... but...

Isn't the PS3 supposed to be the more powerful system?

There are two questions, and one is the only real one. I read the review, I saw what they said. But WHY Does it have a crappy framerate is my question.

Simple answer. It was developed for the PC first. It's a simple port to the 360 and a very difficult one to the PS3. The other reason is what Ibacai said it's an EA port hey are the absolute laziest company there is on ports.

the orange box for ps3 aint as bad as what they say.a little worse framerate but its not that bad.its playable,you cant tell much.i played hl2 ep 2 on ps3 and 360 and it wasent a major difference.loading times in HL2 FOR ps3 are very similar to that of the 360,ps3 ones are like 4 seconds longer.Pretty good port for a game by EA.

Ah, I guess I missed that part.

Well, if EA did it, that explains everything.

this is your reason, TC. just in case you didn't know, EA has a terrible history with ps3 multiplats, they are known for just being lazy and not coding as well as they could.

but, in response to the quote, you never know how a valve ported version would have worked, i mean gabe newell said he hated the ps3.
